My Goals

My story starts when I came back from South America and my mom surprised me and said, " Hey sweetheart I forgot to tell you we lost our home". It was devastating losing everything but I knew I had to move forward. I was looking for shelters and happened to come across Larkin Street whom provided me with food and shelter. I decided to take advantage and got my GED while also working in an internship with New Door Ventures. I eventually moved to transitional housing when I turned eighteen and met a young man named So Yem. He told me about Year Up and I decided to take up on the challenge working with computers. I am now currently in the program and working towards becoming an IT technician. My big goals are to one day become the CEO of my own corporate company and to have stable housing. In the next four to five months in my learning and development phase I am going to take advantage of my classes and study hard. My goal in tech class is to learn everything about the computer. The software, hardware, and everything inside the computer. My goal in professional skills class is to improve my speech, expand my vocabulary, and know how to give a great first impression. My goal in business communications class is to improve my grammer and build on my reading comprehension. These goals will be very beneficial when I reach my internship. Achieving my goal to have stable housing will come from me doing my best at my internship and showing my supervisors that I came to work hard. I feel by applying my goals will help me become a more professional and efficient worker and will one day help me succeed in becoming a CEO. I never want to be worried about being in a shelter ever again and that's my motivation to work hard and accomplish these goals.
